4 WHERE ARE THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE
5 WHY IT S IMPORTANT
6 NURTURING NATURALIZATION: PROFILING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE MANUEL PASTOR, PATRICK OAKFORD AND JARED SANCHEZ
7 PROFILING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE WHY? High naturalization fee suggests impediment LPRs with less education (and likely less income) particularly impacted Need detailed profile on eligible LPRs to determine fee effects Fostering citizenship is a public good
8 BUT FIRST, WHAT DO WE ALREADY KNOW? Eligible LPRs are price sensitive to naturalization costs Data suggests that fee increases, particularly the very significant increase in 2007,may have had a negative impact on the rate of naturalization. Price increases are associated with a dramatic decline in the naturalization of less-educated (and likely lower-income) immigrants
9 WHY DIDN T WE KNOW THAT ALREADY? Two Congressional Research Services looking (preemptively) at whether fee shifts changed the demand for overall immigration services and workload. Didn t much but it actually shift the composition of what type of services were demanded. Form FY 1994 FY 1999 % Diff FY 2002 FY 2004 % Diff FY 2006 FY 2007 % Diff FY 2007 FY 2011 % Diff I-90 $75 $110 47% $130 $185 42% $190 $290 53% $290 $365 26% I-129 $75 $110 47% $130 $185 42% $190 $320 68% $320 $325 2% I-130 $80 $110 38% $130 $185 42% $190 $355 87% $355 $420 18% I-485 $130 $220 69% $255 $315 24% $325 $ % $930 $985 6% I-765 $70 $100 43% $120 $175 46% $180 $340 89% $340 $380 12% N-400 $95 $ % $260 $320 23% $330 $595 80% $595 $595 0% Source: For FY 1994 to FY 2011, Congressional Research Service U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' Immigration Fees and Adjudication Costs: Proposed Adjustments, and Historical Context; for FY 2011,

17 WHY WORRY? BENEFITS OF NATURALIZATION Research has demonstrated that naturalization can improve incomes and enhance civic participation Impact on earnings from attaining citizenship falls somewhere between 8 percent and 11 percent Boost in earnings associated with naturalization, with additional gains over subsequent years

19 PROFILING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE What are the major characteristics of eligible LPRS? How might income status influence naturalization? Is income associated with race/ethnic origin with limits to naturalization?
20 DEFINING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE Methodology: Used 2012 American Community Survey (CEPR extract) In approach similar to Migration Policy Institute, utilized certain characteristics and information from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) to identify the undocumented (key difference is that we use a logistic regression probability analysis Then calibrated final count for undocumented with estimates of Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS) and Pew
21 DEFINING THE ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE Table 1.

Applying the residency restrictions (five years, three if married to a U.S. citizen), we obtain a total of eligible to naturalize that matches aggregate OIS estimates as well as country distribution But because we are using the 2012 American Community Survey, we can estimate individual characteristics
22 ADULT LPRS ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE, POVERTY BAND Income Thresholds for Family of Four, % of poverty $35, % of poverty $59, % of poverty $119,170 Nearly two million adults eligible to naturalize LPRs within the 150% to 250% poverty band (working poor) representing 22 percent of all eligible to naturalize adult LPRs Greater than 500%, 18% 250% to 500%, 27% Less than 150%, 32% A more realistic way to understand: for the household in the middle of the % band, the fee alone is about one week of post-tax takehome pay 150% to 250%, 22%
23 SHARE THAT ARE MEXICAN-ORIGIN BY POVERTY BAND 50% Overall, Mexican-origin population is 29% of those eligible to naturalize but 40% of those below 150% of poverty level 40% 40% 37% 30% 29% 20% 18% 10% 0% Less than 150% 150% to 250% Greater than 250% Total
24 PATTERN FOR EDUCATION Figure 3. Share with Less Than a High School Degree of those Eligible to Naturalize by Poverty Bands, % 50% 40% The share eligible to naturalize 51% with a BA or better has a big break 43% Not surprisingly, the share of those eligible to naturalize in the lower income bands are much less educated (and have less English fluency) 30% 20% 21% 10% 0% Less than 150% 150% to 250% Greater than 250%

26 EXECUTIVE ACTION USCIS asked to explore a partial fee waiver program in their next biennial feestudy To consider a partial waiver (e.g. 50%) in the case of applicants whose income is more than 150% and no greater than 200% OR A scaled adjustment to the fee based on a range of income levels
27 ADULT LPRS ELIGIBLE TO NATURALIZE, POVERTY BAND Income Thresholds for Family of Four, % of poverty $35, % of poverty $47,668 There are slightly over 1 million adult eligible to naturalize LPRs within the 150% to 200% poverty band (working poor) representing 12 percent of all adults eligible to naturalize LPRs Greater than 250%, 46% Less than 150%, 32% One reasonable estimate: if the rate of naturalization for this group ( %) was to rise to average for immigrants with incomes above 250% of poverty level, that s an extra 25,000 naturalizations a year 200% to 250%, 10% 150% to 200%, 12%
28 FUTURE RESEARCH Further calibration between OIS data and ACS simulated data (figure to right done from OIS data in cruder way) Analysis of shifts in naturalizations after the fee waiver became more automatic Multi-year ACS pool to drive to lower levels of geography and help drive sub-state efforts
29 CONCLUSIONS There may also be a population whose income is slightly higher than that that might benefit from a fee waiver as well Further research is needed both on price sensitivity and also on cost recovery Working together, we can make an even stronger commitment to facilitating citizenship on the part of LPRS
30 NATURALIZATION BENEFITS ALL AMERICANS Wage increases associated with naturalization would strengthen families financial security and reduce poverty. A 10% increase in earnings would mean an extra $3,575 each year for a family of four at 150% of the poverty line. This is enough money to cover nearly 40% of the average annual food expenses of a four person household.
31 NATURALIZATION BENEFITS ALL AMERICANS Naturalization improves the productivity of our workforce and grows the economy. Increased labor market mobility Investment in human capital Improved job-skills match
32 NATURALIZATION BENEFITS ALL AMERICANS Naturalization benefits the children of immigrants the next generation of American workers.
